When i was a young mom of 3. I stayed home to raise them. My then husband did not value my role. His often comment was “you don’t work. What did you do all day?”
I felt so unappreciated and really wanted his to see all that i did and the monetary value of me as the mom of his children. He never did. Our marriage ended
Years later i remarried. To a man that valued a “stay at home mom”
He wanted me to stay home. His logic was “either you raise them off the streets will raise them. Either way they are going to grow” He helped me feel so much value in my life as a mom. I never had the feeling of needing to be paid.
My wife decided after our first daughter was born that she wanted to be a stay at home mom and after the talk, I went out got a better paying job sometimes working 2 and 3 jobs for them.
I eventually started my own company. She has been a SA mom for 35 years, although the kids have long gone in their own lives and I have no regrets I wouldn’t have changed anything.
That's so sweet...
I’m here to mark presence (every week I’m here, and subscribed)✅🇧🇷
And for the note, I listen in the ordinary speed (1x) hahaha
Me too!
Present
❤ me too
I was listening on normal speed. Just changed to 1.5 just to hear it. It was hilarious.
I did the same thing😂😂
Me tooo😂😂😂😂😂
Love how TRID turns into Flash from "Zootopia"😄.
Omg this came at the most perfect time! I am in this same boat today! I recently got offered my job back from last year and I had to explain to the new boss that there's a lot of differences in my situation this year then last. Last year, I was just getting back on my feet, living with roommates, just day visiting my kids, having no car, having separated from my husband for a few months, and pregnant. This year, I have the baby, my husband is back in the home, I got my own place, a car, and my oldest son lives with me now. So we planned for just 2 days of the week to work, but as i keep finding someone to watch the baby. Today happened to be the day I couldn't get any family or even close friends to ask to babysit.
I'm sitting her listening to your podcast, definitely feeling the struggle to find my identity outside of being a mom. It's tough. I really thought 2 days wasn't gonna be hard to commit to... it's the 3rd week of work and not necessarily "stuck" home but unable to get to work... thinking, "Is 2 days a week, 4 days a payday, even worth it?"
You two! Are a breath of fresh air! Witty, silly and wise..
Something I picked up here in this conversation. The two of you work really, really well together. And that is a blessing. There seems to be a balance here. In regards to you TRID, you obviously are a fabulous teacher (or mentor, depending on the tasks at hand). There is a good wisdom about you and in watching these Podcasts, we get to pick up on your personality more. So this wisdom is blended with what I would call stillness. This amazing calm of understanding how this Universe operates. And then with you Sheena, you have this flow about you. Both of you are talented, intelligent and that shows in your children as well. During the years my wife and I were together, though we didn't have children, we made it a point to work together like a partnership. Not competing, but supporting. And this is the beautiful thing I see about the two of you. It's really, really good
I’m here for you two every week. I love how the two of you communicate. I love how TRID is very serious but sees when it gets to serious he put the humor in it and make Melani laugh. ❤️
I love Trid's idea of stay at home mom/dad invoicing the working partner and getting paid. It's been floated before and gets shot down every time, because who would want to charge their own family for a labour of love? But it's necessary in this case especially when the kids are younger, just to balance out the financial and power differences that can wreck havoc even on a loving family.
You both crack me up!!! Trid you are so sharp and witty! That’s the best you can contribute to any relationship!!! Humor above all!!!!
I work from home, but every morning I get in my car at 8am and drive around the block so I can talk about my commute on my lunch hour.
Thanks for the profesional advice or insight TRID, I needed that today ❤ I've been listening since day 1 and each episode has a nice little tid-bit of advice or something to think about. Thank you both, the podcast has been wonderfully entertaining and thought provoking 🤯 keep up the good work 💪💪💪
A lot of people listen and watch your podcast. We are just stumped what to comment because your laughter beguiles us but Trid stupefies us!😂
When ever i worked from home before retiring, i always dressed for “work”, as it encouraged the control my mindset . It is more important now with zoom calls occurring more and more.
Job-sharing - where two qualified people share one position and split the salary. In the UK at least, this is an option for teachers, accounting, and many other jobs. Good for parenting, or illness/recovery/disability, or sane life balance. It could be split by days (in the classroom) or by function. It takes a little bit of planning, but is very workable.
Loved this episode so so much! Kinda replayed it again just cause wanted to catch everything that was shared by TRID & Sheena. Two diff perspectives so much to learn frommm… As someone who just graduated that advice at the end from TRID felt like someone showing light 💡 and affirming it’s going to be alright and just get out there and keep doing your work… things will turn out fine 🤞 lasttt: love how u guys have natural humour mixed wid tidbits of wisdom embedded in ur podcast! Thats what keeps me going to look forward to fun parts but also to bust my ass working and putting those initial hours in! Thankssss ⚡️😁
I had never considered listening at 1.5 for podcasts before, thanks TRID.
I'm here every week to listen and have always listened at normal 1x speed, however I just upped it to 1.25 because 1.5 was too fast! Thanks for the suggestion!
Loved the flow of this podcast. Hilarious, serious, ketchup stain, thought provoking, insightful. ❤
Thanks for addressing these topics. It helps to hear other perspectives too. 😊
I've been here since Day One and I listen 1x speed all the time. I listen on Spotify and here on RUclips.
Wish I heard this when I was starting my career...so motivating...thank you.... I actually recently stopped working to take care of our new born and I am definitely having this struggle....this hits home for me..thank you guys for doing this ❤🎉
Im typing whilst listening. Lol - Sheena is right Trid. 😃 Facetious means joking around, playful, teasing. You can be mischievous at times. Im always in stitches with your reactions. Sheena got the right reference for facetious. 😂 👍 Ayo, j'ai bien rigolé. 😂 🌻
This is incredibly important. I can't tell you how much this podcast helps me stay motivated and to keep pushing forward as a mom with 3 kids! And it keeps me from wanting to divorce my husband realizing these things are normal for couples... and that it could be worse being married to trid! 😂😜
I love listening and watching you guys all the time thank you
I've been doing what I do for 20 years not including previous schooling. Sometimes it was 80 hour weeks.
One time I scraped my car on a guard rail because I fell asleep at the wheel at 2am. Still went in at 9 am.
🎉🎉🎉 I absolutely love this channel however I really miss your other channel with just plain funny episodes.
Blessings to both of you and your kids, Carlos
Trid Sheena- my goodness you people are wonderful. I am sincerely thankful for the way you make us feel. My fav day of the week has been Tuesday for the last few months. Thank you for being you and everything that you do.
Btw I’d like to know the meaning, pronounciation and spelling of that word that Sheena used. Fisticious, fascious😂… I dont really know.
Can you guys publish at least two podcast episodes a week please? I promise I'll watch it 🥹💙
Once a week is enough. I can't laugh this much twice in one week. lol
You guys make me laugh every day !!! I love it
I would love to work under either of you. You both have so much wisdom and poise.
Guuuuys... I love listening to your banter and great advice... why would anyone want to listen to you on speed!!!!
Sometimes, I wish it was longer 😜❤
Sending love from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
I listen to the podcast normally. I enjoy every moment. 😂😂 And I'm subscribed.
I’m listener number 738!
Haven’t missed a week!
Hiya Both, I watch u always, this cast made me laugh out loud. Thank-you Both ❣️
Hey Sheena
Iam 18 and I really love you both....You and trid make a great pair...❤❤❤Love from India..
The only podcast I watch.
you are so sweet guys ❤ i have my trid for the kids (good cooperation & respect). i hope i'll find a nice sarcastic and cuddly trid for me as well one day 😊😊
I Love watching your videos it puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh..... and I Love your PJ's 😁
Building credibility is a laborious proposition. But it is incredibly important. Credibility is the source of strength, character and mental health.
Thank you for this.
I wish you were my mom and dad. I really do wish you were my mom and dad. I hope my sincerity comes through also, the sadness of my statement comes through.
I want to say I do not regret those years that I was able to be there for my kids in the newborn years. I was blessed to be a stay at home Mom for almost 10 years. The hardest part was I didn't feel my contribution was acknowledged. I didn't need financial compensation. I just felt unappreciated.
Trid is awesome 👏
Trid was close on the heels of Em's speed rap. 😂😂 Vous êtes les phénomènes 😂😂 love it! Vous êtes comiques tous les deux. Lol, never a dull moment!
Ok, the cigar and the fluffy cat... bahahahahaha
You guys are so funny. You brighten my mornings. R
I am here for u two love u both
Sheena is awesome 🤩
I listen at half speed but i drink 4 espresso's, so it evens out. Close the windows on slow talking
Υου spread joy, God bless you!! ❤❤
This is the one number podcast
I watch it on 2x! 🤣🤣
But being from Singapore, speaking quick is the benefits!
Sheena, you of all people know that a SA home mom works harder taking care of the household than a working mom. A working mom is expected to work all day and then come home and still take care of the household and that’s how the Love in the relationship erodes and eventually results in divorce.
I listen to the normal speed, every week. I just sped up to hear trid the chipmunk 😂😂😂
I’m visitor number 18 who listens at normal speed.
🎉🎉🎉 I definitely listen to most videos at 1x5 I’m a very fast listener 😢😂😂
I think I might have listened to the Podcast on 1.5 once, because I was trying to fit it in before having to get off of my laptop.
For me and my husband it was important to stay at home and be with the kids. Atleast until they reach school age . Also financially it makes zero sense to go to work have someone else raise your kids to turn around and give that person most of your paycheck bc daycare is extremely expensive. I also worked in daycare when I was 18 yrs old for a couple of years and I promise you the kids are not getting the one on one attention they need and deserve in daycare! The whole system is messed up. It designed very badly. Women instinctually should be at home men are the providers . Women care or the family by cooking cleaning raising kids, the men are the warriors we need to go out in the world and bring home the bacon. Call me old fashioned . But the system is messed up bc they want women to have the babies , raise the babies and work?! No thats too much and in my honest opinion its not the way god intended. There is a reason women are soft and nurturing...so we can raise kids...there is a reason me are tougher so they can go outband kill the prey so we can eat! Stay at home moms dont get the respect they deserve. People think we do one load of laundry and call it a day they have no clue unless they are a stay at home mom too. I work now that my kids. Are older but definately not when they are babies!
All Podcasts at least at 1.5!
You’re always so funny but with good conversation. Always played at 1.25😉
Hahaha i always listen to 1.5😂 this was funnyy
I’m on of the 17 I look forward to Tuesday’s videos

What does Trid do? I'm so curious 🤔
Tried is a big kid !!
Greetings from germany again untill i got noticed from them 😂 and Playe the Podcast on 0,25 never laught so hard
I watch at normal speed. I only increase speed when going back over recorded lessons when I'm cramming 🙈
"Make no widgets" lol
Can I just say I rewatched at 0.5, 1.5, 2x speed after Trid mentioned it
🎉🎉
Lmfao, i listen to all podcasts on 1.5x
You’re so cute Trid!!!!!
I watch first three minutes again 😂😂😂 in 1.5 its fun
TRID changing speech speed is HI. Larious!! He's annoying AND funny as heck!
Why is husband not appearing 😂 I just found you guys a few days ago so I'm not on board yet 🤔 😂❤
You guys should've had that podcast on the Principal channel.
This should be just another segment that you have. Like Chaos in the Kitchen and others.
Not taking advantage of the 2Millions + subscribers makes No sens to me.
I thought the same thing
At 0.5 you seemed quite drugged xd
And at 1.5 Sheena laughing reminded me lion king ienas
The only time I listen podcasts on 1.5x or so is when it's something I have to listen to for work, and I'm only looking for a general idea of what they're talking about.
I used to listen at 0.75 much more often, when I'd put on a long science podcast to get to sleep. I've realised since then that the sleep quality is always worse if I'm listening or watching right as I go to sleep, so I don't do that either anymore. Barely use the speed button on my podcast app nowadays!
subtitles without volume.
I watch to podcasts on x2 😂
You guys should have couples on and share day to day lol
1.75!!
I watch everything 2x speed on RUclips.
I listen on 1 times
I listen to everything on 1.75 😅
I listen on 1.5 only cus I hv limited time lol
That's hilarious I listen on x2. No one thinks of that trid.
I watch u on 1.75x to 2x
1.5 or 1.75
Professionnel attire: Boardroom meetings are still formal in my sector. No semi casual with an annual meeting with shareholders either. Also depends on their country. Turkey, boardroom meetings are formal. (Corporate big companies especially). For big meetings or seminars or conferences my suitcase is on wheels, easy to for mobility. No satchel. As for family, it is the environment i grew up in, in the traditional sense. I still value traditions today. I love the housewife option, too, with children if possible. I love the aspect of looking after my children & husband. Being their refuge. Working mothers are also good. It's about circumstances & individual choice. Remote work, if possible, is a practical solution too if set up properly, structured.
Don’t forget about the working single moms. 😉💲 we truly work hard for our money.
Sorry, a lot of times I listen at 2x...do that for audiobooks too.
1.75 sheena singing is funny
